Foot Locker Cross Country Championship comes to Kenosha

Top high school cross country runners from more than thirteen states will compete in the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships (FLCCC) Midwest Regional at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha on Nov. 30 in hopes of becoming a National Finalist.

Entering its 35th year, the Foot Locker Cross Country Championship is the longest running cross country race in the nation, comprised of four regional 5K races across the country.

The top ten finishers from the regional qualify for the Foot Locker Cross Country National Finals on Dec. 14 in San Diego, Calif.

The Midwest Region, consisting of athletes from Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and U.S. citizens in Overseas Military Installations, will race along the 5,000-meter mixed terrain course at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

The race, however, will not be limited to high school athletes. All non high school runners are encouraged to participate in the open race.

Runners can register online at footlockercc.com. Each entrant will receive a complimentary T-shirt.

More Wisconsinites are ticked off at Gov. Scott Walker than they were last year. That`s what a new poll found a couple of days ago. True, it`s only one poll. And a month is forever in politics. And some people might be annoyed at Walker but will still vote for him again down the road (depending on his opponents). But there`s no question that the swing in support is significant, at least as a snapshot of now.

A letter was sent by the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin to Governor Scott Walker. The Tribe is asking Gov. Walker to meet with tribal leaders, Hard rock International and the project`s New York financial advisers to walk through the Tribe`s $1.7 billion offer to the state when he visits Kenosha for a small business announcement on Tuesday.

Scott Walker is busy running for president and that campaign means he`s got to curry favor with rich guys. Sheldon Adelson, the casino emperor, is a rich guy who hates the idea of a casino in Kenosha. And Governor Walker is trying to keep this guy happy.

Gov. Scott Walker`s office and the Milwaukee Bucks reacted to Tuesday morning`s proposal from the Menominee Indian Tribe and Hard Rock International that would funnel $220 million to a Downtown arena if Walker approved a Kenosha casino. Local politicians have weighed in as well.

Just across from the vacant, Milwaukee County-owned space on the corner of Old World 3rd Street and Juneau Avenue, the Menominee Tribe and Hard Rock International held press conference in the Aloft hotel to commit $220 million to a Downtown arena project that would house the Milwaukee Bucks. If...
